    What's your stage name?

    Elle Jay, I've been meaning for some time to tell you how in love I am with that fuzzy little thing in your avatar. Every time I see those curly paws and those little black button eyes I just want to reach in and pull him (her) toward me. My oh my. What a little ball of love. If he/she were...

    Advice for a potentially new cat owner

    I have massive cat experience so here's my feelings: - Females are less likely to spray but there are no absolute guarantees a boy will and a girl won't. - I am very partial to older cats because you know exactly what you're getting. I raised my boy, Tangee from a tiny kitten and he has...

    "You look good, have you gained weight?"

    I work in a culturally diverse place where a lot of people say exactly what's on their minds. Anyone who's read anything I've written knows I've lost a lot of weight, work out seriously, but still have a ways to go. From the waist up everything's coming along great. From the waist down...

    Remember "Deep Thoughts" by Jack Handy?

    OMG, that was the FUNNIEST segment, ever: (Smalley) "Michael... I know sometimes you say to yourself 'I'm a failure... People don't like me... I'm not a very good basketball player... I'm not good enough to make that shot...'" (Jordan, thoughtfully) "Um... no." And it ends with Smalley...

    Remember "Deep Thoughts" by Jack Handy?

    I just repeated this one to a co-worker last week. Hysterical!

    Just couldn't finish

    Yep. Sometimes a chick just needs a break. I've been searching for the article but I know I just read where uber-trainer Eric Cressey said he hadn't missed a workout in, like 10 years, or some such ridiculous number. But then, he has the background to know how to plan more carefully... I...

    Tabatas Training- is is that good?

    Edit: I had written that Chad Waterbury wrote about Tabata over at FigureAthlete.com or T-Nation.com but I can't find anything. I did, however, find this awesome Dan John article: http://figureathlete.tmuscle.com/free_online_article/bodybuilding/the_tabata_method_1

    Was just told I'm selfish for working out?!?!?

    You are awesome and she is jealous jealous jealous. As, essentially, a peer, (she doesn't outrank you), how is it she feels she's even in a position to judge you? We have an idiot supervisor at work who knows how to push everyone's buttons. But, like I said, he's an idiot. I deal with...

    Just need to vent and get some support

    I have no kids and wish I could offer words of consolation. But I remember how my mother suffered. She about went out of her mind when my brother and I were children. She would say "My GOD. You kids were into EVERYTHING. I couldn't look away for a second." And back then there was very...

    Wow, I just had the most unpleasant conversation

    I was reading an older article over at T-Nation the other day called something like "Our favorite things" and one of the things was nylon ropes with rings, like gymnasts use (the article came out before TRX ropes hit, which is now being discussed over there, also). If you know anything about...

    What exercises cause big calves?

    I am PLAGUED with HUGE calves (not genetics in my family) and two FigureAthlete.com authors gave me advice. Dr. Clay Hyght told me to keep doing what I'm doing, especially diet, and they should get smaller. But he also warned that my calf muscles got big and strong carrying around a lot of...

    NROLW

    I've read the book and it contains one of many workout systems I eventually plan to get to. The workout is a bit unconventional but I have huge respect for Alwyn Cosgrove and little doubt regarding the effectiveness of anything he puts together. I'd be interested in hearing about your results...

    How did you firm your inner thighs?

    I've been working at this for a very long time and feel I can say that, FOR ME, it's about 70% diet/15% weight training/15% cardio. And even though diet is the biggest slice of MY pie, if you leave out the weights or the cardio you're really slowing down your results. I know because I did...

    I'm venting about my doc

    WTH?! I'm going to talk to MY doctor about this the next time I see her. I can't believe crackpots like the doctors being talked about here are allowed to practice medicine. Emphasis on the work "practice" because they're a long way from perfect.

    bachelor parties

    I think it's all the time I've spent reading TC Luoma's T-Nation stuff (his book Atomic Dog: The Testosterone Principles is a hysterical compilation of many of his writings) but my views on a lot of the things men do has changed. I don't care about his visits to strip clubs now and then, his...

    For cat owners who let their cats outside...

    With my 3 that still go outside I feel so bad about their poop. I can't follow them around but I'm sure they're "dumping" in my neighbor's yards. There is such a large stray cat population 'round here, though, figuring out who did what would be impossible - unless you catch them in the act. I...
